Abstract:
The described embodiments of mechanisms of forming connectors for package on package enable smaller connectors with finer pitch, which allow smaller package size and additional connections. The conductive elements on one package are partially embedded in the molding compound of the package to bond with contacts or metal pads on another package. By embedding the conductive elements, the conductive elements may be made smaller and there are is gaps between the conductive elements and the molding compound. A pitch of the connectors can be determined by adding a space margin to a maximum width of the connectors. Various types of contacts on the other package can be bonded to the conductive elements.
Abstract:
An electroplated wire layout for package sawing comprises a substrate with a plurality of chip arrays disposed thereon. A kerf having two scribe lines is disposed between every two chip arrays. Several solder ball pads corresponding to the chip arrays are disposed on a back surface of the substrate. Each solder ball pad has a solder ball electroplated wire extended into a kerf. There is also a kerf electroplated wire disposed in each kerf and above the scribe lines of the kerf in a zigzag way. The kerf electroplated wire is connected with the solder ball pad electroplated wires to achieve electric connection. By changing the shape of the kerf electroplated wire, the kerf electroplated wire can be easily cut off to enhance the yield and reliability and also lower the cost.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved structure of gold fingers, which is to redesign a conventional gold finger on a packaging substrate into a gold finger set that contains a plurality of gold finger units. Between each single gold finger unit, there exists an electrical connection. Therefore, in the structure of stacked-chip packaging, each wire that is connected through wire bonding on the same gold finger of each layer chip can separately perform wire bonding on different gold finger units of the same gold finger set. Due to the improvement on the gold finger structure, the present invention can prevent the adhesive on a chip from flowing along the wire bonding path of a layer chip and smearing the whole gold finger. Thus, other layer chips can be prevented from being unable to perform wire bonding.
Abstract:
The claimed invention discloses a chip adhesive that is adhered to a stacked packaging structure between two adjacent chips. The chip adhesive includes a plurality of stuff particles to keep the chip adhesive with a predetermined thickness through suitably controlling type and quantity of the stuff particle. Two adjacent chips can be adhered together with a specific gap. The cost of dummy die can be saved and the space for wiring bonding can be retained. The chips of the stacked packaging structure, moreover, can be packaged with a faced-up type to reduce the cost of applying flip chip type or WBGA type.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a stacked chip scale package structure, wherein a lower chip and an upper chip are stacked on a substrate. Two rows of bonding pads are disposed on each of the upper and lower chips. The bonding pads on the upper and lower chips are parallel arranged. At least a dummy die is disposed below the suspended portion of the upper chip and at the side of the lower chip as a support during wire bonding. A gap is reserved between the dummy die and the lower chip. The present invention utilizes the design of dummy die to resolve the problem of die crack caused by wire bonding of suspended chip. Therefore, the present invention can flexibly adjust the size and installation direction of the upper chip to meet the requirement of substrate layout, and can also shorten the trace length on the substrate to enhance the electric performance thereof.

System and method for providing a multiple die interposer structure. An embodiment comprises a plurality of interposer studs in a molded interposer, with a redirection layer on each side of the interposer. Additionally, the interposer studs may be initially attached to a conductive mounting plate by soldering or wirebond welding prior to molding the interposer, with the mounting plate etched to form one of the redirection layers. Integrated circuit dies may be attached to the redirection layers on each side of the interposer, and interlevel connection structures used to mount and electrically connect a top package having a third integrated circuit to the interposer assembly.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a design structure of an plated wire of a fiducial mark for a die-dicing package. In the present structure, a cutting line is positioned between each two adjacent ball grid array (BGA) chips. There is configured a solder mask opening at the edge connecting region of the cutting lines. A fiducial mark is positioned in the opening of each BGA chip, wherein the fiducial mark is close to the cutting line and positioned a plated wire therein to pull from the fiducial mark to out the opening and to connect to the plated wire of the cutting line. So as all the plated wires utilizing the coverage of the solder mask can be entirely cut without the pulling problem from the cutter. The present invention provides a new design structure of the plated wire to overcome the burr effect of prior die dicing so as to enhance the product efficiency and decrease the manufacturing cost.
